Blog Swap with Simply Designing

She has a darling little blog and ETSY store so make sure you visit her!And without futher ado...

Hello "Every Crafty Endeavor" readers! I am Ashley, the face and voice behind Simply Designing and I am so excited to be here today guest posting!

I am fairly new to blogland but am loving every minute of it! I am an interior designer and a floral designer. I own my own business. I also love to dabble in crafts, baby / child items, very occasional sewing, lots of baking, cake decorating and a variety of other things.

I love finding ways to make my life more SIMPLE!

I enjoy keeping busy and I have a list a mile long of "projects" I want to do. And I love posting about my projects on my blog! I also LOVE new visitors, comments and new followers! (hint hint! :-)

In addition, I am a wife to a wonderful husband for 9 years, and a mom of a 3.5 year old spunky little girl and a sweet cuddly 3 month old little boy! So much fun!

I am so excited to be guest posting here today. I am actually going to show off a new project and tutorial that I have not yet posted on my own blog!!!

A couple of months ago, I bought 2 hurricane vases from Ulta (I know...a beauty supply store...so weird right?) But they were only like $5 (originally $50!) and I had been wanting some, so I scored a GREAT deal and was very excited about it! (They are really nice quality too!) But I digress...

Ever since I found them, it has been one of my pet projects to find fun things to fill them with.

Recently hosted a baby shower and wanted to fill them with something a little bit different. Here is what I came up with:

Cute huh? I am really loving the simple tissue paper Pom Poms!

Here's how to make them:

1. Stack 8+ pieces of tissue paper together (for larger fuller poms you can use more paper)

2. Cut a square out of the tissue paper the same diameter that you want your pom to be.

I love the tissue paper pom poms!! Our family made a bunch for the backdrop in my sister's wedding last year. I have been so excited to use them in a backyard party...as soon as my backyard gets done. I'm very anxious!
